Lizzo remained unbothered even after a hater had something to say about her size.
The “Truth Hurts” singer gave us some bomb choreography to accompany a mix of the Baltimore club song “Watch Out For The Big Girl” during a performance in Sydney, Australia, on Friday, according to Pop Sugar. She posted a clip of the impressive routine on her Instagram page and suggested she does the routine at each show. Previous clips have shown the singer dancing to the song during her concert.
“WATCH OUT FOR THE BIG GRRRL B***H – I DO THIS EVERY NIGHT – DONT PLAY W ME HOE,” she captioned the video.
The target of the Saturday post may be The Biggest Loser coach Jillian Michaels, who had a lot to say about Lizzo during an interview with Buzzfeed on Wednesday.
“Why are we celebrating her body? Why does it matter? Why aren’t we celebrating her music? Because it isn’t gonna be awesome if she gets diabetes.” Michaels said.
“I love her music. My kid loves her music. But there’s never a moment where I’m like, ‘And I’m so glad that she’s overweight!’ Why do we even care? Why is it my job to even care about her weight?”
The interview went viral, and the Lizzbians came for Michaels’ neck.
Jillian Michaels' claim that we shouldn't celebrate bodies like Lizzo due to diabetes and heart disease is pretty wild considering her Biggest Loser co-trainer, Bob Harper, has like 0% body fat and had a heart attack at 52.

Jillian Michaels hates her own body and is worried that if other people hate their bodies less, they'll stop buying the shit she peddles. She's worried about the bottom line, not Lizzo's health (or yours, or mine.)

To make matters worse, Michaels doubled down on her comments after the backlash.

“As I’ve stated repeatedly, we are all beautiful, worthy, and equally deserving. I also feel strongly that we love ourselves enough to acknowledge there are serious health consequences that come with obesity — heart disease, diabetes, cancer to name only a few,” she tweeted. “I would never wish these for ANYONE and I would hope we prioritize our health because we LOVE ourselves and our bodies.”
Lizzo took the high road, per usual. She hasn’t addressed Michaels directly, but she encouraged her followers to chill out the day the drama started. She also reminded everyone she doesn’t apologize for being herself.
“Today’s mantra is: This is my life. I have done nothing wrong,” she wrote. “I forgive myself for thinking I was wrong in the first place. I deserve to be happy.”
While she was in Australia, Lizzo took time out of her busy schedule to help the victims of the Australian bushfires, according to People Magazine. She helped Foodbank Victoria put together care packages for affected families.
“100% that Foodbank!” Thanks again @lizzo for visiting our warehouse yesterday and chatting with our hardworking volunteers and staff who have been working tirelessly to provide food relief to bushfire affected communities. Add hamper packing to her list long of talents @fomoaus

The “Juice” songstress also talked about the fires and climate change on Instagram.
“I’m a firm believer in all of us being connected and all of us part of this planet, and a global citizen,” Lizzo said. “Moving into 2020, I just want to be really vigilant about the way the earth is moving.”
Lizzo knows climate change can be a testy issue, but she believes we should take a common-sense approach to saving the Earth.
“People who want to politicize climate change, just get away from my mentions. Unfollow me, don’t look at me, just pretend I’m blocked,” she continued. “Cause it’s not about that for me, I don’t understand how nature can be a political issue. You don’t have to be the most intelligent scientist in the world to notice that temperatures have changed.”
